Background

In the face of shared global challenges, ESG has evolved from a standalone topic to a core framework for building consensus and creating shared value. At ESG Day 2026, we will stand alongside peers in the German business ecosystem in China to explore practical, localized solutions — from strategy to implementation — for a sustainable future.

面对共同的全球议题,ESG不再是单点议题,而是凝聚共识、创造共享价值的核心框架。2026年ESG日,我们将与在华德企生态圈的同仁们并肩,从战略到实践,探寻切实落地的中国方案,共赢可持续的未来。
